Plot twist: every time he releases a live mouse it runs into another trap off camera that kills it.

[@streamofconsciousness2982]

California avi8tor It could also be possible that the mouse returns to his barn and gets featured in another video

[@TheeHellabored]

@@streamofconsciousness2982 it's a cameo

[@Sir_Leelord]

U should make a mousetrap gauntlet course in the barn. Like set up all of your traps together and show us a 15 or 30 min video of trap footage

[@daugh8587]

Lee Ludtke Welcome to the The Hunger Games

[@Sir_Leelord]

hahaha

[@twstf8905]

Ok I'll give you your 50th 👍 for that!

[@terryv]

It seems to me that a simpler trigger system would make this trap more practical. Rethreading new trigger strings every time would get old rather quickly. Still, it’s fascinating to see all these variations.

[@yourbeekeeper]

See the notification, click on the video as fast as my fingers can... let the ad run its full two minutes to help out an awesome channel. Thank you for the upload

[@killtyrant]

yourbeekeeper 2 minutes? What was the ad for?

[@jameslivingston8301]

yourbeekeeper your right, Shawn makes more money for videos that we love....Thank you for saying that.

[@chenry7084]

Do KZbin channels only get money if you watch the whole ad?

[@ezekielbenavides2740]

It's clicking on an ad's link that gets ad revenue. Not watch time

[@timixl00]

You had ad? it’s already demonized

[@niclastname]

I didn't expect this to work at all! I figured that the mice would be able to push through the strings fairly easily. I guess you could fix that by tying the strings on something like a cheerio in the middle. That way you don't have to rely on them chewing through the string. They would just eat the cheerio, which would release the string tied to it.

[@kalebk817]

For a special vid you should set up ALL your mouse traps at once!

[@datsson1718]

I’ve been binge watching all your videos and so far I love them all. The idea of your channel is jut amazing, I love l the traps you create and how they work

[@willavison8842]

This guy is so talented and great at explaining things - I would really like to see some more videos of him building all these traps.

[@coolazi7951]

Yay! Mouse trap Monday! One of my favorite days! Thanks for being on KZbin! ❤️

[@bpetnoi1472]

Good design. Quick and easy string setup using the slits instead of holes. No false triggers with mice crawling over box and setting off traditional bar or wire triggers,

[@midgetman2251]

Best channel on KZbin. Keep it up Shawn!

[@Desi-qw9fc]

I like the live traps because my interest in mechanical traps gets indulged without anything having to die, pretty neat.

[@frankly3498]

Awesome! These videos are great! Keep up the awesome work!

[@iloveamerica8541]

Thank you so much for making a video about this trap. You are my no.1 youtuber

[@manuelch.4381]

Sehr schöne Falle, grüße aus Paderborn :) Very nice Trap, greedings from Paderborn :) Germany

[@iloveamerica8541]

manuel ch. Grüße zurück Habe kein electrisches werkzeug benutzt

[@cycle8120]

Sehr schöne Arbeit. Danke, dass du dieses Video ermöglicht hast. 👍

[@WiliamBennettwildarbennett]

I used to build these as a Rabbit Box was a kid in North Arkansas back in the 70's and have caught many rabbits as well a a skunk or two and possums to. The kind we made had trigger stick and hook end to the trap door.

[@CGoffgrid]

Wiliam Bennett We watch a lot of the same channels. I think you would enjoy my trapping vids. 😉

[@koryaiine7393]

Dilemma on KZbin: all of my favorite KZbinrs have ads on their videos, but every time the video passes over the yellow ad mark, I never see an ad. Not sure if I should be happy or sad, haha.

[@kal386]

Nice video as always Shawn!

[@MrBuddymo]

I love your videos, especially the ones with homemade traps. Have you thought about updating old designs with modern measurements, etc. And publishing them in book form?

[@7volcast]

5 minute advertisement.....you’re lucky I love your videos man!

[@yellowdog762jb]

Shawn: "My pet mice don't like chewing through string." Because they know what happens after that! LOL!

[@calebclark6696]

Use every trap in your barn

[@jameslivingston8301]

Like it! It's simple and works. Thank you Shawn!

[@steveschempp8076]

Congrats on 1M subs!

[@davidmg1925]

In all my experimentation with springs etc Id never thought of that. Good design.

[@tylerc1980]

I would think you could set it up so they dont actually have to chew through the string. They would just force their way between the string causing tension that makes the trigger mechanism go off.

[@pilotandy_com]

Seems like once you know the size of the loop, you could make a bunch to quickly switch out. Since you can just push them into the slots and you dont have to thread the strings. Very cool trap.

[@luisr267]

I like your videos Shawn, greetings from Guatemala

[@TatoAV]

I have two of those here on Costa Rica, they're very old, I think my grandpa made them at some point...

[@TatoAV]

Well, esthetically they're the same but looking closer, the mechanism is different, I would say my gramps did them himself, by his own creativity

[@edwardvarby4363]

Might be interesting to design traps that use Cheerios as triggers. EG with 2 loops of thread through it. When the cheerio breaks, it triggers. Where did the mouse on top at the end come from? Did the released mouse come back? Or is it a pet mouse?

[@taurbaby]

Im curious to know how they made string back in the day...have you ever considered making a trap completely by using materials and tools that would have been used during that time period?

[@noitulive]

The string type mouse traps are interesting but a hassle as opposed to the spring loaded ones.

[@twstf8905]

You could tie the ends of the string to a Cheerio or a Fruit Loop so the mice wouldn't have to chew through the string to trip the trap! 👍

[@deathshot555]

Good videos keep the good work up

[@rachelm6734]

Omg the mouse from the thumbnail was *soo cute!*

[@ikyitching]

The mouse really tried to chew for its freedom! How long does it take for a mouse to crew though a wood cage?

[@wuya31100]

It cracks me up how intricate some of these traps are just to catch 1 mouse lol

[@crystalpower9126]

I cant believe I saw this video on march 3 when it was published on march 3!!!

[@Shr3w]

Have you tried combining the Walk the Plank trap with the quicksand?

[@reneemartinez7843]

I love your channel ❤

[@iloveamerica8541]

Those groves are a great idea It takes me 5 minutes until i have the string placed through all theese tiny holes in the wooden bars

[@Snowflake-hg1tn]

He has fans over seas

[@aaroncameron1494]

Is there a bitterant you can put on the wood to deter them from chewing the wood?

[@Max-rb7po]

Isn't it Saturday today?? :/

[@fooman2108]

was looking at this and was trying to figure out how to use my soon to arrive 3-d printer to make a smaller one.....

[@golf-n-guns]

This morning I checked one of my traps in the basement and had one.

[@vojtasjedyny]

I've hoped you will get two of them.

[@bigwin2010]

Mouse was like, what bruh, this is Mah House I ain't Going!

[@rosemcdonald6885]

What kind of wire do you use for the cage bars?

[@swivelkeyring3512]

Hahah the notification I got just says '1870 final', is that the video file name? Lol

[@singleman1986]

I've made a couple of versions of these 'string chew' traps. They work best when you smear a LIGHT coat of peanut butter on the string. Hope this helps.

[@ishady27]

Thanks for your suggestions 👍

[@davidmg1925]

Who'd have thought it, they started chewing at the string gaps. I suppose use really hard wood. Only catch one at a time.

[@JogBird]

the problem w live catch is all the poop you have to deal with

[@robertbrunston5406]

Very goodness! Thank you.

[@Matt-br5zt]

Maybe you could just drill holes and thread the string with a needle like some of your other traps and eliminate the grooves so the mice don't have a starting point to chew their way out.

[@recklessroges]

I'd like to see how many nights before they chew their way out. (Even if they get through the bottom of the trap they would have to lift the trap to escape.)

[@freelancehalo]

the thumbnail mouse with the sad eyes, damn bro

[@indifferentcynic9065]

You should try using Honey nut Cheerios as bait. Their sweet, crunchy, and mice could probably smell them too

[@cama838]

So I just watching detective pikachu as your ad. And it’s a mouse.😏

[@RiddleTime]

Shawn, I'm having problems with mice in the city in live in. What would be the best mouse trap I could order, I don't mind livetrap or deathtrap

[@passin.timeintx8571]

Enjoy your videos! 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@stingreen]

I think It’s a better practice to make all traps out of metal for longer use

[@tillmancat]

I like your live catches better :)

[@sunbeam5744]

How do u catch a moustrap monday

[@codysade7859]

Have you considered the KZbin Union started by the slingshot channel? I feel you guys have a lot of the same concerns

[@75mmSaintChammondMondragon]

I recomend you to use magnets on traps with doors

[@loner_boy9994]

Gotta catch them all

[@anthonyblair8039]

Imagine 3 seconds after being let go a hawk swoops down and grabs the baby mouse ... whoah that would be tight

[@Anti_ZionisNKRI]

I caught 5 mice with a simple bottle trap.. N im proud now

[@jasongooden917]

for a second there i thought you said William Batman

[@Emanuelmartins69]

How the hell youve put a wild mouse in the top side of the trap without it fleeing for the final picture? was it a stuffed rodent?

[@hyperion1028]

Whats the best bait for catching mice?

[@vojtasjedyny]

Peanut butter.

[@coolgun2067]

If it has ultra instinct it can run out before the door closes though

[@ZoneBlitz44]

Here when the vid was named 1870 final

[@fred_derf]

If you used holes to put the string through instead of slots the mice wouldn't have the edge to start gnawing on.

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

Line the inside with glued-on sheet metal. Good design. Simple. Effective. But the wooden construction is its weak spot.

[@ddsara11]

Do you limited-edition new movie mouse prison break

[@Seag-Gaming]

mousetrap saturday nice

[@cellgrrl]

"My mice don't like chewing through string". Elitist, pampered, entitled mice. Make them earn their keep!

[@LexTheLionLocc]

My problem is they crap alot and make so much nasty mess after they're caught. If you are going to be reusing live traps and handling them, do you just let all that nastyness build up? Or do you clean it once in a while. If it's the latter, this kind of trap seems horrible to clean so would it not make sense to implement some sort of " easy clean " design like a pull out tray?

[@marylight9700]

Oh, I like this one, it's cute, simple & humane :-3 Also maybe if it wasn't wood maybe it'd be more resistant towards being gnawed thru ?

[@dianatompkins8891]

What are the dimensions?

[@hi-ot8kf]

Do a fling trap

[@scottcook3081]

If you used a cherio only then they would not have to eat at the string.

[@pinchewey7]

Lock it up, throw away the key!

[@Josh12323]

1870 final?

[@TanginaRubinstein]

Mice as always!! Thx

[@sadlyfinn]

Why does youtube demonitize you its just rude?

[@UnknownNameUnknownNumber]

If the mice chewed that trap all night and made that damage, that trap is only useful for like maybe 3 mice

[@jesusmacias859]

Nice vids

[@aquaticskeltm842]

Whee notification squad at

[@cesardelacerda247]

this has become my favorite thing lol

[@kingmiura8138]

The string trigger should be replaced with a conventional trigger.

[@michaelbrewer9272]

YOOO COLUMBIA SC

[@timfischer]

I'm wondering if it would be more effective if the inner wall was a solid wall instead of bars, leaving a gap in it as you do the bar wall. That way it would be very clear to the mouse what it has to chew through to get the bait.

[@kylejohnson5585]

Yay more traps 🙃

[@Harbluia]

Not gonna lie. I wanted one of the mice to get crushed by the door ._.

[@salemart1139]

(ಥ_ಥ)

[@Harbluia]

... No...

[@residntas6618]

Harbluia i was hoping too

[@Harbluia]

Glad I'm not the only one :3

[@bruhmoment-yr4fn]

😐

[@Redhunteur2]

"The tame mice are well fed, and don't like chewing through string." Pfft... Elitist mice. You know, it wasn't so long ago you guys were dodging death in barn full of predators. Show some humility for your roots!

[@ImNotADeeJay]

I know mice can be a pain in the *ss for some people, but I can't help but find them soo cute

[@duvalinsanchez2137]

Whoever dislikes are disgusting human beings, I love this channel and will love to see this Channel grow

[@elbattarijamil7781]

Daniel Contreras i hope whoever dislikes this channels videos gets a mice infestation
